[0010] An assembly part is formed on one side of the above-mentioned faucet body so that the faucet body can be detachably assembled to a water purifier, and the tip of this assembly part is configured to be detachably assembled to the water purifier by an interference fit method.

[0011] In the corresponding directions of the above-mentioned coke body and the above-mentioned coke cover, elastic ribs and locking grooves are respectively formed to make close surface contact with each other, so that the above-mentioned coke cover can be detachably assembled to the coke body.

[0012] On the outer surface of the above-mentioned coke tip, a locking projection is formed that elastically contacts an elastic rib formed on the coke body, so that the coke tip can be detachably assembled to the coke body. Effects of the invention

[0013] The faucet structure of the water purifier according to the present invention allows the faucet body to be assembled so as to be detachable from the water purifier, thereby facilitating inspection and replacement.

[0014] In addition, the coke cover and coke tip can be assembled so that they can be detachably attached to the coke body, allowing for quick and easy inspection and replacement of parts, as well as easy cleaning of each part. Brief explanation of the drawing

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a disassembled water purifier with the tap separated from it to explain the tap structure of the water purifier according to the present invention. Figure 3 is a drawing for explaining the internal structure of the coke cover provided in the coke of Figure 2. FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of the assembled state of the faucet in the faucet structure of a water purifier according to the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0016] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a water purifier provided with a faucet structure according to the present invention, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are a perspective view of a faucet separated and disassembled from a water purifier to explain the faucet structure according to the present invention and a drawing for explaining the internal structure of a faucet cover, FIG. 4 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view of a major part in an assembled state of the faucet in the faucet structure according to the present invention.

[0018] As described above, the tap structure of a water purifier according to the present invention comprises a tap body (2) that is detachably assembled to a water purifier, a tap cover (4) that is assembled to surround the outer side of the tap body (2), and a tap tip (6) that is assembled to the lower end of the outlet of the tap body (2).

[0019] An assembly part (8) is formed on one side of the main body (2) so that the main body (2) can be detachably assembled to a water purifier, and the front end of the assembly part (8) is configured to be detachably assembled to a water purifier (100) in a press-fit manner.

[0020] A discharge channel (10) through which water from the water purifier (100) can be discharged is arranged inside the main body (2) of the tap. The front end of the discharge channel (10) is fixed to the assembly part (8) and exposed to the outside, and is configured to be connected by fitting into a discharge pipe (not shown) provided in the water purifier. The end end is formed in a shape that extends to the front end of the main body (2).

[0021] And, an opening / closing button (12) for opening and closing the discharge channel (10) is formed on the upper part of the main body (2) of the tap so that the user can use the water from the water purifier.

[0022] The coke cover (4) is formed in a cylindrical shape with an internal space, and one side is formed as an open part (14) so ​​that when the coke cover (4) is assembled to the outside of the coke body (2), the assembly part (8) can be fitted in.

[0023] This coke cover (4) is detachably assembled to the coke body (2). To achieve this, a locking groove (16) is formed on the lower inner surface of the coke cover (4), and an elastic rib (18) is formed on the lower part of the coke body (2) at a corresponding position, so that the coke cover (4) can be detachably assembled to the coke body (2).

[0024] The elastic rib (18) has an outer surface that protrudes slightly more than the coke body (2), and one side is connected to the coke body (2) and the other side is a free end separated from the coke body (2), so that the free end can be elastically operated in the inner and outer directions and can be inserted or separated by elastically making surface contact with the locking groove (16).

[0025] Accordingly, when the coke cover (4) is inserted into the upper part of the coke body (2), the elastic rib (18) is elastically inserted into the locking groove (16) and caught, allowing the coke cover (4) to be attached to the coke body (2). In this state, when the coke cover (4) is pulled in the opposite direction to when it was assembled, the elastic rib (18) is elastically separated from the locking groove (16), allowing the coke cover (4) to be separated.

[0026] The coke tip (6) is detachably assembled to the lower part of the coke body (2). To achieve this, a locking projection (20) is formed on the outer surface of the coke tip (6), and the locking projection elastically contacts the elastic rib (18) formed on the coke body (2) so that the coke tip (6) can be detachably assembled.

[0027] The coke tip (6) is fitted into the lower part of the coke body (2) and rotated in the circumferential direction so that the locking projection (20) elastically contacts the elastic rib (18) and is connected, and can be separated by rotating in the opposite direction of connection.

[0028] Thus, the faucet structure of the water purifier according to the present invention allows the faucet body (2) to be detachably connected to the water purifier, thereby facilitating inspection and replacement of the faucet body (2).

[0029] In addition, the coke cover (4) and coke tip (6) can be assembled so as to be detachable from the coke body (2), so that the inspection and replacement of parts can be done easily and quickly, and at the same time, each part can be cleaned easily.
